17/20, sadly had a crash yesterday with some of the feats done on my way to 20/20.

Good level after all, my favorite sniper level yet in HITMAN I think.

I thought it was a little lame and linear at first, but it grew on me. Not Sapienza great though. It is a fun sniping level and you can definitely challenge yourself on it, I tried doing an axe run but I had a hard time at the consulate.

Hitman Summer Bonus Episode releases in July
Click to expand...
The Hitman Summer Bonus Episode is a standalone installment that sees Agent 47 visit Sapienza and Marrakesh for the first time to carry out two separate ICA missions.

“We’ve created not one, but two missions for the Summer Bonus Episode and players will revisit the hugely popular Sapienza and Marrakesh locations with a completely different feel,” said Hannes Seifert, Studio Head at Io-Interactive. “It allows us to show what we can do with HITMAN as a live game – we even introduced a crazy giant killer robot, but it’s also the perfect midway point in the HITMAN season before the final three locations.”


The episode will release on July 19, and you can take a gander at the mission details below.

The Icon

When the town of Sapienza is taken over by a film crew shooting a new sci-fi blockbuster. Agent 47 must aim to retire one of the cast members during a climactic scene being staged late at night in the town square.

A House Built on Sand

Set at the frenetic night markets in Marrakesh, a mole for a major construction company is about to sell secrets to their largest rivals. Agent 47 is tasked with making sure the leak stops there.

It's up there. Definitely my favorite for HITMAN still though.

It's so hard to beat A New Life, that level had everything despite being quite small for a Hitman level. Beldingford Manor too.

Traditions of the Trade of course stays great too.

EDIT: Can't forget about Anathema, that level was what got me hooked on the series in the first place.

Yeah that'd be a good setting.

I always wanted to have a fashion show/art show/whatever setting. And tada, Paris came.

Also the next elusive should be this Tuesday (tomorrow)?

I need a first-person mode and the ability to peek through fucking keyholes.

It still boggles my mind that these features were cut. I mean you basically have to rely on save-scumming or the popamole x-ray vision now.

Also, it's really nice that we can disable most of the UI (not that the game is really playable that way ^), sadly IO forgot to code in a switch to toggle those idiot button prompts that are literately everywhere around 47.

Come in the vicinity of:
a door -> idiot button prompt pops up
any NPC -> idiot button prompt pops up
a useable object -> idiot button prompt pops up
...

And another thing, NPC should speak in their native language, everyone and their dog is a Kwan in this Hitman game, this is another thing that kills my immersion something fierce.

Oh, and why on earth can't 47 conceal his sniper rifle anymore?

BEST HITMAN EVAR, I think not.

Looks like they spent the voice acting money on other things.

Also you forgot to mention the significant lack of gore. There was much more blood in Absoloution. PowerTorment are you responsible for this? :P
